Tim's Tip of the Day

Many downtown merchants have gone the distance and put up Christmas trees in front of the businesses to bring some spirit and good will to the community. (Click on thumb nail to see full size.)

Find of the day

Ruper Murdoch: 'There's no such thing as a free news story'
News papers depending on advertising revenue are in deep trouble so the owner of the World's most important newspapers want to charge Internet users to see the stories and he considers Google theft.

Happenings In Tisdale:

  • Saturday, December 5, 10:00 & 2:00 Free movie Falkon Theatre
  • Saturday, December 5, 2:00 - 4:00 United Church tea & bake sale
  • Sunday, December 6, 2:00 Kids free movie Falkon Theatre
The Greenwater report
Tuesday
December 1, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon:
Gerald helps us catch up on the weather and shares with us his lamentations over Sunday's football game. The Crawford tradition of a Sunday family brunch sounds like a great idea.

Saturday
November 28, 2009
by: Darlene McCullough
Tisdale:
A good turn out at the November meeting as the club launch some plans for the coming year and recognised the achievements of the Anderson photographers. This month's theme was berries and for the first time ever three pictures tied for first place.
 
 
Cleanup
Tuesday
November 24, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
The practice of cleaning up a harvested fied by burning it has become exceeding rare in the last few years but it still happens and it is still wrong. Wrong for the atmosphere and wrong for soil conservation. Successful farmers simply don't do it any more because in the long run the practice causes far more harm than the small amount of money saved in fuel to work the material into the soil.
Christmas trees for sale
Monday
November 23, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Each year it only seems that Christmas trees go on sale earlier than last year, actually it is about the same time each year.  With it warm and no snow on the ground it just seems pre-mature but they will keep so now is probably a good time to pick your tree out while the selection is excellent.
The Greenwater report
Monday
November 23, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon:
Another milestone for the Crawfords as great grandson, Atticus celebrates his very first birthday. Besides keep us up to date on the weather, the Crawfords tell us about an arts and crafts show at a Saskatoon church and mention the large list of people from down home they met there.

Harvest in its last day
Thursday
November 19, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Weekes:
These warm November days were a God send to Saskatchewan's farmers as they have pretty much harvested all that is recoverable of this year's crop. There is good chance the Friday will be the last day of combining.
Shame for a generation
Thursday
November 19, 2009
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria, British Columbia:
Yesterday it became known that the government was repeatedly warned that all Afghan detainees were being tortured when they were turned over to Afghan authorities but nothing was done and today the government tried to discredit the diplomat saying he couldn't prove they were tortured. Not a proud day for our country.

Tuesday
November 17, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire

What they missed
Tuesday
November 10, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Those Canadians who for what ever reason they had went off to war for their country and so many of them did not return. Not in their wildest dreams would they have conceived the sort of world we all live in today and so much of this world is what it is because of them.
The combines are in the fields
Monday
November 9, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
There may be mud on the tires and it may be a little slow going but field after field today had combines working their way through the swathes that remain unharvested.

Unfinished
Thursday
November 5, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire

At last it appears that no weather miracle is forthcoming and its time to accept the fact that 25% of this year's crop will not be harvested in 2009 if at all.
